Wherein a hardness of the first blade is greater than that of the second blade, and a thickness of the second blade is less than that of the first blade.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode (LED); in particular, to an LED package structure and a manufacturing method thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

The conventional method for manufacturing an LED package structure adapts a single blade to saw an LED package structure assembly into a plurality of conventional LED package structures. The LED package structure assembly includes a substrate and an encapsulating gel stacked on the substrate, and the substrate and the encapsulating gel have different hardness. When the substrate and the encapsulating gel are sawed by using a single blade, the hardness of the encapsulating gel is less than that of the substrate, so a grind portion of the encapsulating gel is smaller than that of the substrate. Thus, after the above sawing process is implemented, an edge of the encapsulating gel usually protrudes from the adjacent edge of the substrate, such that the producing yield of the LED package structure is reduced.

In view of the above disadvantages, after extensive research in conjunction with theoretical knowledge, the inventor provides the present invention which is reasonably designed and effectively addresses the above disadvantages.

The instant embodiment provides a manufacturing method of an LED package structure including the steps as follows.

In Step S110, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an LED package structure assembly 1000 is provided.

The substrate layer 10 includes an active area 10 a and an inactive area 10 b arranged around the active area 10 a. The first metallic layer 20 and the second metallic layer 30 are formed on the active area 10 a of the substrate layer 10, the first metallic layer 20 has a plurality of conductive circuits 2 formed on a top surface of the substrate layer 10, and the second metallic layer 30 has a plurality of metallic pad sets 3 formed on a bottom surface of the substrate layer 10. The LED chip set 40 includes a plurality of LED chips 4 disposed on the first metallic layer 20, and the Zener chip set includes a plurality of Zener chips 5 (as shown in FIG. 8) disposed on the first metallic layer 20. The encapsulating gel layer 60 is disposed on the active area 10 a of the substrate layer 10. In other words, the encapsulating gel layer 60 is disposed on the first metallic layer 20, the LED chip set 40, and the Zener chip set.

Specifically, the LED package structure assembly 1000 defines a plurality of sawing lines L, which are in a vertical and horizontal arrangement. Each of the sawing lines L has a starting mark M and an ending mark M, which are formed on the inactive area 10 b of the substrate layer 10. The active area 10 a of the substrate layer 10 defines a plurality of substrates 1 according to the sawing lines L, and the substrates 1 are integrally connected to each other and are in a matrix arrangement. Each substrate 1 has a first board surface 11 and an opposite second board surface 12. The conductive circuits 2 are respectively formed on the first board surfaces 11 of the substrates 1, and the metallic pad sets 3 are respectively formed on the second board surfaces 12 of the substrates 1. The LED chips 4 are respectively fixed on the conductive circuits 2, and the Zener chips 5 are also respectively fixed on the conductive circuits 2. The encapsulating gel layer 60 defines a plurality of encapsulating gels 6 according to the sawing lines L, and the encapsulating gels 6 are integrally connected to each other and are in a matrix arrangement. The encapsulating gels 6 are respectively disposed on the first board surfaces 11 of the substrates 1, and each of the encapsulating gels 6 is provided to cover the corresponding LED chip 4, the corresponding Zener chip 5, and the corresponding conductive circuit 2.

For the material of each element of the LED package structure assembly 1000, the hardness of the substrate layer 10 is greater than that of the encapsulating gel layer 60. The substrate layer 10 in the instant embodiment is made of ceramic material, but is not limited thereto. The LED chip 4 is preferably a UV LED chip 4, and the LED chip 4 in the instant embodiment is a UVA LED chip 4 having a wavelength of 350˜420 nm, but is not limited thereto.

Moreover, for the material of the encapsulating gel layer 60, the encapsulating gel layer 60 is made of methyl silicone resin, an elongation of the encapsulating gel layer 60 is greater than 100% and smaller than 250%, the elongation is preferably greater than 160% and smaller than 190%, and the best choice of the elongation in the instant embodiment is 175%. The Shore A hardness of the encapsulating gel layer 60 is in a range of 50˜70. Preferably, the Shore A hardness of the encapsulating gel layer 60 is in a range of 50˜60, and the best choice of the Shore A hardness in the instant embodiment is 52. A glass transition temperature (Tg) of the encapsulating gel layer 60 is smaller than −50° C., a refractive index of the encapsulating gel layer 60 is substantially 1.41. In addition, the encapsulating gel layer 60 of the instant disclosure does not have a degradation phenomenon generated by UV light emitted from the UV LED chip 4. Each encapsulating gel 6 of the encapsulating gel layer 60 has a first portion 61 and a second portion 62 arranged around the first portion 61, and the second portions 62 of the encapsulating gel layer 60 are arranged under the sawing lines L.

It should be noted that in order to implement the following sawing step, a thickness T of each second portion 62 of the encapsulating gel layer 60 arranged under the corresponding sawing line L is smaller than that of the substrate layer 10 and is substantially smaller than 150 μm. The thickness T is preferably 75˜125 μm. Specifically, the thickness T relates to a light-emitting angle Θ of the LED chip 4, and the thickness T and the light-emitting angle Θ in the instant embodiment are satisfied with a formula: Θ=138.75−(1.2T/25.4).

For example, when the light-emitting angle Θ of the LED chip 4 is 135.15°, the thickness T of each second portion 62 of the encapsulating gel layer 60 arranged under the corresponding sawing line L is substantially 3 mil, which is equal to 75 μm. When the light-emitting angle Θ of the LED chip 4 is 131.55°, the thickness T of each second portion 62 of the encapsulating gel layer 60 arranged under the corresponding sawing line L is substantially 6 mil, which is equal to 150 μm. In the instant embodiment, the thickness T of each second portion 62 of the encapsulating gel layer 60 arranged under the corresponding sawing line L is preferably 100±25 μm, but is not limited thereto.

In Step S130, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the encapsulating gel layer 60 is sawed by using a first blade P to move along the sawing lines L until the substrate layer 10 is sawed. More particularly, the first blade P is not sawing through the substrate layer 10. That is to say, after the encapsulating gel layer 60 is sawed by using the first blade P to move along one of the sawing lines L, at least one sawing groove 10 c is formed on the encapsulating gel layer 60 along the corresponding sawing line L.

The hardness of the first blade P is greater than that of the encapsulating gel layer 60, for example, the first blade P is a hard blade made of composite material. The thickness W1 of the first blade P implemented on the sawing lines L is 200˜350 μm, and is preferably 250˜300 μm. In the instant embodiment, the first blade P is a disc-shaped blade, in which a plurality of diamond powders is electroplated on the disc-shaped blade, and the first blade P is generally called as a P-blade. In other words, the first blade P is an electroplated diamond blade. The thickness W1 of the first blade P in the instant embodiment is 250 μm or 300 μm, but is not limited thereto.

When the first blade P is used to saw the LED package structure assembly 1000, the first blade P is aligned with the marks M of each sawing line L arranged on the inactive area 10 b of the substrate layer 10 for accurately sawing along the sawing lines L. Moreover, the rotating speed of the first blade P is about 35000 rpm, the moving speed of the first blade P for sawing the LED package structure assembly 1000 is about 5 mm/s, velocity of a liquid for cooling the first blade P is about 1.5 L/min, and velocity of a liquid (e.g., water) for removing crumbs generated from the sawing of the LED package structure assembly 1000 is about 1 L/min at 20° C.

Specifically, a depth of the substrate layer 10 sawed by using the first blade P is substantially 75±25 μm, that is to say, the depth of each sawing groove 10 c is substantially 75±25 μm. In other words, a distance between the second board surface 12 of each substrate 1 and the final position of the first blade P is about 0.48 mm. After the sawing process of the first blade P is implemented, the encapsulating gel layer 60 is sawed to be a plurality of encapsulating gels 6 separated from each other.

In Step S150, as show in FIG. 5 through FIG. 7, the substrate layer 10 is sawed by using a second blade B to move along the sawing trace of the substrate layer 10 (i.e., the sawing lines L) until the second blade B saws through the substrate layer 10. The hardness of the second blade B is less than that of the substrate layer 10, and is less than that of the first blade P, so the second blade B is a soft blade with respect to the first blade P. The thickness W2 of the second blade B implemented on the substrate layer 10 is less than the thickness of the first blade P, and is less than or equal to 200 μm. In the instant embodiment, the second blade B is a disc-shaped blade, in which a plurality of diamond powders is adhered on the disc-shaped blade by a resin, and the second blade B is generally called as a B-blade. In other words, the second blade B is a resin-bonded diamond blade. The thickness W2 of the second blade B in the instant embodiment is 200 μm, but is not limited thereto. In the instant embodiment, the first blade P having the thickness W1 of 250 μm or 300 μm and the second blade B having the thickness W2 of 200 μm can be cooperated to saw the LED package structure assembly 1000 into a plurality of LED package structures 100.

When the second blade B is used to saw the substrate layer 10, the rotating speed of the second blade B is about 35000 rpm, the moving speed of the second blade B for sawing the substrate layer 10 is about 5 mm/s, velocity of a liquid for cooling the second blade B is about 1.5 L/min, and velocity of a liquid (e.g., water) for removing crumbs generated from the sawing of the substrate layer 10 is about 1 L/min at 20° C.

Specifically, after the sawing process of the second blade B is implemented, the substrate layer 10 is sawed to be a plurality of substrates 1 separated from each other. Each substrate 1 has a ring-shaped groove 14 in position corresponding to the sawing groove 10 c, and a depth D of each groove 14 is substantially 75±25 μm. A portion of the side surface of each substrate 1 excluding the groove 14 is defined as an outer side surface 13. The groove 14 has an inner side surface 141 and a stepped surface 142, the inner side surface 141 is connected to the first board surface 11, and two opposite edges of the stepped surface 142 are respectively connected to the inner side surface 141 and the outer side surface 13. The depth D of the groove 14 is identical to a distance between the stepped surface 142 of the groove 14 and the first board surface 11 of the substrate 1. For each LED package structure 100, a side surface 621 of the second portion 62 of the encapsulating gel 6 protrudes from the first board surface 11 of the substrate 1 (or groove 14), a distance between the side surface 621 and the first board surface 11 is about 50±25 μm, and the outer side surface 13 is substantially aligned with the side surface 621. Moreover, a roughness (Ra) of the outer side surface 13 of each substrate 1 is about 1˜4 μm.

After the above Steps S110, S130, S150 are implemented, the LED package structures 100 shown in FIG. 7 can be obtained, but each of the steps can be replaced by a reasonable replacement step. For example, in a non-shown embodiment, the step S130 can be replaced by a variety step S130′, and the step S150 can be replaced by a variety step S150′. Specifically, the step S130′ is sawing the second board surface 12 of the substrate layer 10 by using a second blade B to move along the sawing lines L, but the second blade B does not saw through the substrate layer 10; the step S150′ is sawing the substrate layer 10 by using a first blade P to move along the sawing trace of the substrate layer 10 until the first blade P saws through the encapsulating gel layer 60.
